Country Heaven

by Vicki Green

  It took us several trips to get her things, and by the time we were done, I’m exhausted. We still have so many leftovers from the service it wasn’t much work to heat up a bunch, make a salad and some rolls. Mac and Dallis are great, as usual, making Tina feel at home. We actually have a wonderful time at the dining room table, laughing and telling stories about all the trouble we used to get into. We cleaned up and watched some TV. Having the satellite rocks. We all say our goodnights and head to bed. Tina and I hug when we get to her room, and I look up at Memphis who has a confused look on his face. I take his hand, his fingers immediately threading through mine, and lead him to his room, which I hope he will be glad to make it “our room”.

  He gives me a questioning look. “Well, it’s not like we haven’t been “sleeping together”.” I make the air quote sign. “Might as well just move in here. Besides, Tina just took the best spare bedroom.” I wink and pull him inside. He goes willingly.

  Chapter Sixteen

  Memphis

  I slept great last night. My girl in my arms, her best friend moved in, and all is right with the world. Let’s just hope it stays that way. I know that where there’s good there will always be some bad. That’s what makes us stronger. I know in my heart that together we can get through anything. Breakfast was like a feast, between Sadie and Tina both cookin’ up some great food and Tina even made homemade cinnamon rolls. I think Mac and Dallis are in love. We all head our separate ways, getting chores started. I take Clancy out for a ride while Dallis works on the stalls and Mac is checkin’ on Frisky. He thinks she might deliver by tonight or in the morning.

  I ride Clancy back close to the gate, climb down and remove his saddle then take it with me through the gate, headin’ to the barn. Then I walk inside, lookin’ at Dallis’ progress, and then take the saddles to Clancy’s stall.

  “Tina! Come on! You have to squeeze with the inside of your hand and your thumb. Yea! You did it! For finally.”

  I chuckle at Sadie. She’s using the same tactic on Tina that I did on her. Guess she did learn somethin’ from me. I look up when someone walks into the barn. “Colby.” I nod, tryin’ to keep my cool, but I know he has feelin’s for Sadie. That doesn’t sit right with me.

  “Hey, Memphis. Thought I’d stop by and see how the barn extension is comin’ along.” He looks over at the area. “Lookin’ good. Really good.”

  I set the saddle up on the stall rail and walk over to him. “Somethin’ you need, Colby?”

  He looks at me and smiles. “Nah, just being neighborly.” Really? I start to open my mouth.

  “Oh, my God! Who in the hell is that?” Tina’s voice squeaks. We both turn and look at her. She cocks her hip, putting her hand there. “Well, I’ll be. Another cowboy.”

  I lower my head, trying to contain my chuckle, look at him and shrug.

  “Yeah, and he can cook like no other, too.” Sadie walks up beside her and puts her arm on her shoulder, leaning against her.

  “Boy, howdy. Is that right, good lookin’?” Tina asks lifting an eyebrow and staring a hole up and down Colby. He turns a bit red under her scrutiny. Feeling sorry for him, I put my arm over his shoulder and we walk out of the barn.

  It’s a long, hard day. The roof on the shed that is on the other side of the barn caved in. Dallis, Mac and even Colby helped me put a tarp over it to keep out the elements until we can replace it. Colby ends up being an alright guy, even though I’m still leery of his affections towards my girl. I end up invitin’ him to stay for dinner and he accepts. I tell him he can use the hall bathroom upstairs to take a shower and pretty soon we all disperse to get cleaned up.

  “He has feelin’s for you,” I tell Sadie as we change clothes in our bedroom. Damn, that sounds right. Our bedroom.

  “He does not. You’re just being silly.” She looks at me, and I stop as I put on a clean pair of jeans. “Are you jealous?” Her mouth turns up into a smile. She saunters over to me. My t-shirt down to her upper thighs, and the neckline is hanging off one shoulder. Sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. She puts her arms around my neck, and I almost stumble pulling my jeans up. Her hands rub over my head. Her fingers travel down my forehead and nose, landing on my lower lip. “You don’t have a thing to be jealous of, babe. I’m yours.” I grab her waist and she squeaks when I pick her up, tossin’ her on the bed. I climb between her spread legs, hovering over her. My mouth covers hers. She starts pushing against my chest, and I release her mouth with a smack. “I don’t want you to get my cold.”

  I smile and lower my mouth until I’m a breath away. “You should have thought about that before you started this.” I suck on her upper lip. My tongue moves into her mouth, findin’ hers and swirlin’ around it. She moans. My cock pushes against my jeans immediately, wantin’ to get in the action. My arms strain with holding myself up, but my hand doesn’t hesitate to reach under the hem of her shirt, lightly touching her smooth skin, travelin’ up until it finds her more than ample breast. Our kissin’ becomes heated, frenzied, as I tweak her nipple and then squeeze her breast gently.

  “Memphis. Ugh!” She moans into my mouth.

  “Will you guys hurry up? I’m starving!” Tina yells.

  Our mouths turn into smiles. She rolls her eyes, and I give her a grin. “Saved by the supper bell?” I laugh.

  “More like annoyed by the Tina bell.” She laughs then moves her hand over my chest, rubbing up and down. “I don’t think “saved” is the right word.”

  “Sadie! Come on!” Tina bellows.

  I lower my head until our foreheads are touchin’. She laughs, which makes her rub against the one place that is achin’ to be inside her. Slowly and downright painfully, I get off her then take her hands, pullin’ her up. We walk downstairs hand in hand, grinnin’ at each other.

  “So, you’re gonna own the coffee shop, run it and Tina is gonna work there and make homemade pastries? Sounds like the town won’t know what hit them,” Colby states as he takes a bite of pie.

  “Yeah, well. Tina’s homemade pastries are to die for and with the excellent coffee, we can’t go wrong.” Sadie beams. I’m so damn proud of her.

  Tina puts her elbows on the table, leanin’ her chin on her hands, lookin’ at him dreamily. “You’ll have to come by and try some, Colby.” She couldn’t be more obvious if she tried.

  He seems clearly unscathed by her flirtin’ and attention. I kind of feel sorry for him but I’d feel even more sorry for him if he’d quit lookin’ over at Sadie constantly.

  Colby left shortly after supper then we ended up watching some TV.

  “I’m going to bed,” Tina announces.”

  Sadie hugs her goodnight then we turn off the TV and go to our room. By the time she comes out of the bathroom, I’m lyin’ in bed, watchin’ her walk in the darkness. She climbs in and snuggles into me. My arm moves on its own around her shoulder. “It was a good night. Seems like everyone got along.” She looks up at me, her face visible only by the moonlight comin’ in through the window.

  I smile. “It was a good night. It would have been better if he hadn’t been lookin’ at you all through supper.” She smacks my stomach lightly. “Ha, what? He was!” She laughs and smacks me again. I lean down and kiss her forehead. We become quiet, enjoyin’ just bein’ together. No words needed. Soon I hear her light breathin’ and see she’s asleep. Good. She’s needs rest with her cold. I close my eyes, comfortable with her in my arms.

  “Memphis.”

  I open my eyes and look at Mac. “What’s wrong?”

  “It’s Frisky. She’s havin’ her calf.”

  “I’ll be right there.” I throw off the covers as he leaves the room.

  “What’s going on?” Sadie asks sleepily. “Are you okay?”

  I pull up my jeans, lean over and kiss her lips. “Yes. Frisky is about to become a momma.” I smile as she bolts up to a sittin’ position, rubbin’ her eyes.

  “Oh, my God! I wanna see!” She climbs out of bed and starts getting dressed. I laugh as sh
e hops around putting her jeans on.

  “Okay. I need to get down there.”

  “Go! Go!” She shouts.

  I walk over and grab her, kissin’ her hard. I can’t help it. I love her.

  I head down to the barn, hearin’ Frisky makin’ all kinds of racket as I get near. I get to her stall and see her layin’ down on the hay. “What’s wrong, Frisk?” Mac looks up from kneelin’ down behind her.

  “Think the calf is breeched,” he answers, concern clearly on his face.

  “Where’s Doc?”

  “On his way.” He stands and walks to the side, grabbin’ a rope, bends down and ties it around Friskys neck. “Help me get her up.”

  I walk over and get behind her, pushin’ on her while Mac pulls on the rope. “You done this before?”

  “Yup.”

  By the time we get her up, Doc and Sadie both walk into the barn. Mac ties the end of the rope to the stall fence and then walks over to us. “Good job, Mac. She breechin’?” Doc asks. Mac nods. “Alright, get another rope. We’ll need to get it around the calf and help to get it out.”

  I look over and Sadie’s biting the inside of her cheek, her hands fidgeting. “Will it be okay?”

  Mac looks at her and smiles. “It’ll be fine. We’ll make sure of it. You might want to get out of the stall though. Don’t want ya gettin’ hurt.” Sadie moves back and stands on the other side of the stall, looking in through the slats. Mac gets another rope and goes behind Frisky, then with gloved hands, slides them into her. Sadie scrunches up her nose. “Got ‘er tied.” He backs up and Doc takes over.

  “Memphis go up front and hold onto the rope and keep her calm.” I walk to the front and grab the rope, and start rubbin’ the side of Frisky’s face. “You ready, Mac?” I look up and he nods. “Okay, let’s do this.”

  They start tuggin’, Frisky starts mooin’ and I try to hold her steady. It is definitely a team effort. We keep pullin’ and tuggin’ until I’m almost pushed back when Frisky suddenly moves up against me and the calf is out all the way. “Woo doggies!” Mac yells and looks over at me. “Memphis, we got ourselves a bull. Congrats!” Sadie claps and yells then runs into the stall, throwin’ her arms around my neck.

  “That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! Oh, my God!” She kisses me, and I laugh while untying the rope. She hangs on to me as Mac carries the calf over, layin’ it down next to Frisky. We walk slowly out of the stall givin’ some room and Frisky starts lickin’ on it, cleanin’ it up. “I can’t believe she had it. I’ll never forget this.” Her arm tightens around my waist, and I look down at her as she watches everythin’ unfold. She’s the one that’s amazing. God, I love her. I don’t know how long we stand there but as the calf starts feeding from Frisky, Sadie starts yawning.

  “You should go back to bed. Mornin’s around the corner.” I kiss the top of her head.

  “I don’t know if I can sleep after this. I’m still so excited,” she says tilting her head up at me.

  “Go and try, baby. For me?” I stare down at her and smile.

  “Okay. Will you come back up?”

  “Nah. I’m gonna help out here then I’m gonna help get the stalls finished in the new area. Need to get that done so we can also get the roof on the shed. You go ahead. You need to get some rest so you can get better.” I lean down and kiss her lips and watch as she walks out of the barn.

  I get busy and am soon covered in sweat. Nothin’ like a hard day’s work. We get the stalls completed, hay covered and troughs set up. I stand back and look at our work, wipin’ the sweat from my brow with my shirt and the cool breeze blowin’ in from the barn door helpin’ to cool me off. It’s actually warm today. Indian summer, I think some call it. Means winter is around the corner. Need to get that roof on and soon.

  “You all come get lunch!” Sadie shouts from the deck. Mac and Dallis walk ahead of me as I pull my shirt back over my head. I look up as I get to the bottom of the stairs and see Sadie starin’ at me. Desire fills her eyes. Damn! There’s nothin’ I wish more than to walk up there, pick her up and take her to bed. I really need to plan a special night soon.

  We have a nice lunch although she kept lookin’ over at me, lickin’ her lips, and I had to keep adjustin’ myself underneath the table. Shit, what she does to me.

  By the time supper comes I’m exhausted. We started on the roof on the shed but only got part of it done. I need to go into town tomorrow and get more supplies in order to finish. Works out good though. Sadie and Tina are going to town as well to sign the papers for the coffee shop and work on doin’ some changes inside. The town folk are excited ‘cept the shop will be closed for a few days while they get things ready. Sadie kisses me goodnight as I leave to go take a shower and get to bed. I can hardly keep my eyes open. She said she and Tina are gonna stay up and watch some “tear jerker” movie. I have no idea what that is but I kiss her back and head upstairs. It doesn’t take me long to fall asleep once I’ve cleaned up.

  Sadie

  Tina and I watched that damn tear jerker movie. I’ve bawled my eyes out and now my nose is completely stuffed up. I felt so emotional today anyway after watching Spotty being born. Yes, I named him Spotty. He’s white and has big spots of dark brown all over him. Hence his name. Memphis just laughed at me, but I don’t care. I think it’s cute.

  I walk into our room and see him sprawled out on the bed. There’s just enough light from the moon coming in through the window. The covers are pulled down low to his waist, exposing his chest and tight abs. Just one small tug and his boxers would be uncovered. I walk into the bathroom quietly, brush my hair, teeth and relieve myself then wash my hands and spritz myself with my favorite fragrance. I remove all my clothes and throw them in the hamper. I return to the room and just stare at him. He’s beautiful. God, I’m so fucking horny.

  I walk over to the end of the bed and start crawling up to him, trying to be quiet and careful until I’m hovering over his luscious body. I lean over and press my lips to his. He doesn’t open his eyes, but he moans, moving his arms around me. Our tongues tangle together. His large strong hands move up and down my back then down to my bottom, squeezing. His eyes open and I look into them. They’ve darkened to almost black, dilated from his desire. “Sadie. Are you sure, darlin’?” His voice raspy from sleep.

  “I’ve never been more sure,” I whisper.

  With his hands still on my bottom, he lifts me, rolling us over until he’s on top of me. His mouth crashes against mine, my hands grip his muscular arms. Suddenly, he releases my mouth and starts trailing kisses from my face to my neck and keeps moving down until he latches onto a nipple. I arch my back in response as he nips and sucks, peaking it until it’s taut. He places kisses underneath my breasts, moving across through the valley between, and takes the other one in his mouth. My hips buck as he sucks then pulls with his teeth. “Memphis,” I moan. He doesn’t stop, making me insane with desire. His hand slides down over my stomach, and then he slides it across my more than wet folds. “Ugh!” I scream out.

  “Fuck, you’re so wet, so ready,” he whispers in my ear, his warm breath exciting me more.

  He slides a finger inside me, moving in and out and my hips start matching his movements. He inserts another finger, stretching me. I move my legs up, my feet flat on the mattress as I raise my hips, wanting him inside me so badly. He stills, and I open my eyes. His face is so close I could just raise my head a bit and capture his lips. “Are you sure, Sadie? We don’t have to….”

  In the heat of desire, I raise my head and press my mouth against his and smile. “Yes. Please. I….” My breathing is labored, my stuffy nose making it hard to catch my breath. “I need you. Please, Memphis.”

  “I have to ask. Are you protected? I have a few….”

  “Yes! I’m on the pill. Just…. Please….” I beg.

  He smiles against my lips then kisses me again. I can feel him moving around, unsure of what he’s doing until I feel his cock pressing up against me. H
oly shit, he’s really big! He releases my mouth, and I look down between us. I watch him take his engorged cock in his hand and run it up and down my slick folds. My head tilts back on its own accord. My mouth shuts tight. Butterfly feelings start tingling in the pit of my stomach. “God,” I moan.

  The tip is now right where I want it, need it. “Sadie,” he whispers. I open my eyes and stare into his. “This might hurt a little. I’m sorry, baby.” I open my mouth to tell him it’s okay, that I can take it, when he plunges into me hard and fast. My eyes close tight as a surge of pain sweeps through me. It burns a little but not as bad as I had imagined it would. I’ve dreamed of this moment, heard things from other girlfriends but no one really described what I just felt. It wasn’t horrible though a bit unpleasant yet bearable. I feel him rubbing his hand across my head, my hair moving with his movements. “Are you okay, Sadie? Please, tell me I didn’t hurt you.” So sweet, so caring, so loving. His voice sounds pained, apologetic. I slowly open my eyes, my mouth turning up into a small smile.

  “I’m ok. It just hurt a little but not as bad as I thought.” He smiles, but it doesn’t reach his eyes. He truly is afraid he hurt me. I reach up and cup his face. “I’m really good.” His smile broadens as he starts to move in and out of me slowly, the pain replaced quickly with desire.

  I meet him with every move then we begin moving faster. His hand moves down and begins to rub my clit and I jump. “Oh!” I yell out in surprise and full of desire. Those butterflies morph into something, something I can’t describe. My hips start bucking, the feelings inside begin to build. My heart rate increases as his lips cover my nipple. So many feelings, emotions. I feel like I’m about to explode. I feel like I’ve been heated from the inside out. It’s the weirdest but the most sensuous feeling. “Memphis. I can’t…. I don’t….” A tingling sensation grows from deep inside, moving up my body. I look at him, my brows lower. A fogginess covers my eyes, and it hits. How do you explain the feelings you get from an orgasm? It’s more than fireworks, more than feeling like your heart could literally leap out of your chest. I have no words.
